I use sedation and anesthesia to produce the best outcomes and most comfort that I can possibly achieve for each patient. It may differ from patient to patient, but my most common approach is topical ocular anesthesia with Marcaine 0.75% and sedation with intravenous Versed (1-2mg). Occasionally, I use subtenon's anesthesia and Propofol for sedation. Sometimes I use a short acting narcotic for pain control and sedation. Rarely, I use intracameral anesthesia. Rarely, I use general anesthesia. I routinely work with an anesthesiologist who provides the above mentioned options that are determined to be best for each patient.
